AAM: How and when did you started modeling ?
Cathrine: When I was 14 years old, I was in London on a girl trip with my mum Hanne. Just shopping, fun and time to relax. When I was shopping in Topshop on Oxford street, a girl named Rachel from Storm models came over and asked me if I were a model. I was very shy, and I almost hided behind my mum. My parents though I was a bit too young to travel to London alone at age 14, so they though I should wait a bit. But destiny wanted it to happend faster, and a week after I got home, I was with my dad Michael, to the Malene Birger fashionshow in Cph (he is a photographer, but not fashion). Here I meet Bente from Scoop Models, and she came over and told me to call her the next monday, and if she was in a meeting, i should pull her out of it. I’ve been with Scoop ever since, and I even walked for Malene Birger several times now.
AAM: Do you remember your first casting? Tell me how it was.
Cathrine: My first casting was to Cph Fashionweek, and I was really exited. I didn’t know, what to do at all, and how castings was, so I just talked and tried to show them a lot of my personality. It was a very long day, walking from casting to casting in the snow. Even though it was hard day, was it all worth it, because I was one of the girls who got most shows in Cph that year, even though it was my first time.
AAM: How would you describe yourself ?
Cathrine: I’m 16, and in my best age if you ask myself. I’m a very open girl, sometimes i do embarrassing things just for fun, because I don’t get embarrassed about myself, but my friends do, and thats funny. I’m a very goofy person. I love to explorer new things, and travel a lot. I hate the dark, I get klaustrophobic in small places and spiders are my worst enemies. My passion is handbags and I have too many on my wish list. I have a big brother Emil, we looks like twins and he is a big support for me, and helps me a lot with school, when i’m too busy to handle it on my own. I have a lot of sweet friends, and in the summertime you will find me in the parks in Denmark eating strawberries and chilling with my loves ones, or swimming in the ocean. My main ambition in life is to live in London, and study on Central Saint Martins.
AAM: Everyone knows that shooting for magazines is one the most difficult parts of modeling. Tell me how this is happening in your case?
Catherine: I heard a lot of stories from other girls, but I never tried a really bad shoot myself. I especially enjoys beauty shoots.
AAM: You did fashion shows. Are you nervous before the show starts ? And how do you feel when you walk on the runway ?
Catherine: I feel like I’m the boss of the world. It is such a rush. You can’t get that feeling anywhere else. When I walk I don’t think, my brain goes all black and I just feel and enjoy the moment and wishing it could last forever.
AAM: Are there any models that inspire you ?
Catherine: Abbey lee and Natasha Poly are amazing. And Jessica Hart, I read her blog for ages, and I meet her in New york last year and got a picture taken with her. She seems so sweet.
AAM: What are your favorite sports, how much do you exercise and how do you manage your diet to stay in shape?
Catherine: I go to fitness many times a week. I run a lot, drinks lots of water and eat lots of salad and meet. Try to stay away from pasta, bread, rice and potatoes.
AAM: We all know that the designers, photographers, stylists are sometimes very difficult people. There have been stories in your case when you could not find a working understanding with the team?
Catherine: No never tried it, everyone is always so sweet. I believe in people treats you, like you treat them. Karma is a bitch, so don’t give anyone a reason to be mean to you, if it’s not worth it.
AAM: What are your goals in modeling?
Catherine: Ever since I was a little girl, have I been watching the Victoria Secret Fashion show with my dad, so that’s a big dream of mine that I hope will come true one day.
AAM: Tell us a little more about your hobbies. What are you doing when you’re not working?
Catherine: I go to school, I’m in High School and try to do my very best. I see a lot of friends in my everyday life and shopping is mine (and every other girls) passion i think. I read fashion blogs, take pictures with my friends, try new things, be happy.
AAM: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Catherine: In 10 years from now I see myself in London, still working as a model, have a killer job as a editor en chief at some big fashion magazine. I only wear high heels, and i’m overall a very happy person. Maybe I have a boyfriend I live with, or my best friend. I have a lot of funny stories from my younger days and I will invite my mum and dad over to visit me very often and take good care of them, so they never gets lonely or miss me in Denmark.
AAM: What do you think of All About Models?
Cathrine: I think it’s a very interesting website, I love to read about other girls and boys modeling experience and funny stories in other countries. It’s very inspiring.
